Especially in the 93-99 age group, there has been a serious talent gap in the last six years, and the national team has insufficient reserves of quality players.
Wu Xi's absence brings an unprecedented challenge to the national team, as the 34-year-old plays a central role in the midfield and his influence is irreplaceable. In the absence of Wu Xi due to injury, Yankovic will have to find a solution to the problem of who can take up this important role.
The preparation plan shows that the national soccer team will gather in Dalian on June 10 to make final preparations for the two international A-level warm-up matches against Myanmar and Palestine on June 16 and 20, respectively. Yankovic expects to test the team and boost the morale through the matches against the strong opponents.

Although Zhang Jiaqi and Wang Shangyuan are still available in the national team, there is still a significant gap between their strengths compared to Wu Xi. It's worth noting that Xu Xin has had very few appearances for Harbour this season, and has only made one substitute appearance in the last four league matches, so his form remains to be seen.
